Hello,
PC was working fine last night. No changes in hardware or software. Booted it up this morning. Monitor says "No signal".
So I troubleshoot. I'm not able to get the monitor to display anything, even with the HDMI cable plugged directly into the motherboard. It is only when I completely remove the GPU from the PCI slot that I can finally get a signal from the integrated graphics.
I'm unsure whether this is a PSU problem or a GPU problem. So I decided to test some more. I borrowed a second PC and swapped the graphics cards. The first PC still has the same issue where I can't get a signal from the GPU. The second PC ALSO now has the same issue with "no signal". Frankly it makes no sense.
1st PC had 600 watts PSU with GTX 770. (7 years old.)
2nd PC had 700 watts PSU with RTX 2070 Super (6 months old). As I said, I also swapped these GPUs but the outcome remained the same.
Based on these tests, what am I to do? D: Help me Tom's Hardware. You're my only hope.
